North Hollywood gets its own gateway

The NoHo gateway gets prepped for its big day.

I apologize for the lack of posting; I’ve been busy contributing to LAist and working on some other projects. Moving on…

For months, there have been non-descript giant wood boxes on the sidewalk off Lankershim Boulevard and Huston Street, close to where this blogger is located offline…Could they be a makeshift homeless shelter? A secret passageway to an underground tunnel? Or just a big wood box? Turns out NoHo is getting its own gateway, so while there will no be exciting hidden passages, there will be a new structure welcoming people to the Arts District.

The gateway is set to be unveiled tomorrow from 7 to 10 p.m. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend – I’m covering the Metro’s meeting on their bike policies in downtown for LAist.com.

Also in NoHo news: A walking tour by the San Fernando Valley Museum will take place this Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon. It meets at the Amelia Earhart statue at the corner of Magnolia Boulevard and Tujunga Avenue, with a suggested donation of $10.
